The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Dinner Committee has announced their featured artist for 2023.
Committee Chair Dave Frayne says over the years, featured artists have included painters and other visual artists, an ice sculptor, craftspersons, a culinary artist, a quilter, and many other creative disciplines. This year, in 2023, the committee has named its first feature artist in the field of winemaking, Dark Horse Estate Winery, just east of Grand Bend. Frayne says Dark Horse Estate Winery has excelled in the art of winemaking and combines their artistry in creating fine wines and memorable wine appreciation, as well as culinary experiences with their personal dedication to their local community.
Frayne says the Dark Horse Estate Winery feature, for bidding at the auction, is a five-course wine and food pairing for six people in the Barrel Cellar at Dark Horse Estate Winery. He says this feature experience pairs the fruits of their labours in winemaking with the fruits of the labours of local agricultural producers.
The Conservation Dinner will be held on April 20th at the South Huron Recreation Centre. More information about the dinner can be found on the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority web site.
